Award-winning photographer Tobi Shonibare – Tobi Shinobi to his followers – pushes the boundaries of symmetry and balance in his first book, Equilibrium. From his native London to his current Chicago home, and in far-flung locales around the world, Tobi’s photographs explore and deconstruct architecture and nature until they appear as optical illusions. His vertigo-inducing perspectives turn familiar vistas into abstractions, reality into a fantasyland of line and shape. More than 164,000 followers on Instagram experience Tobi’s obsessive attention to detail and fascination with the geometry of our world.

The book's introduction is by Sandro Miller, a world-renowned commercial and fine art photographer consistently voted one of the top 200 advertising photographers in the world. His work has been honored at the Cannes Film Festival and the International Photography Awards, exhibited worldwide, and featured in Communication Arts, Esquire, GQ, Newsweek, The New Yorker, and Time.
